With all of the inflated prices, what did they sell for when they first came out? Things like Vanax 777, M390 777, all of thee 888s, 3600 Volt, Tilt, all that jazz?
 
Cheaper if you were bros with a dealer. Over twice what they go for now if you preorder them.
 
They were much more affordable and far less trendy a few short years ago. Since then prices have gone up quite a bit. ;)
 
0777 (Composite) = $600 MSRP
0777M390 = $450 MSRP
0777M390BLK = $480 MSRP
0888 = $499 MSRP
0888MAX = $499 MSRP

I believe that most discounts were around 20%.
 
I was lucky to find a 777 M390 from a authorized dealer for $360 shipped. I even had a $5 coupon code and that brought it down to $355. I think I payed $325 for one of the 0600s U owned. These are the competitive pricing used by dealers that I know and trust. I actually know of a dealer who had 0454s listed on his site for something stupid, like $1400. That is the ONLY reason I support ZT's decision to sell direct. I wont pay MSRP for anything so It was a bummer hearing that all LE's would be sold that way. But I still was very pleased to know that the dealers who have no respect for its patrons now have to find a different way to shaft their customers.
 
If I recall, I had a 0777 damascus for $480 (it was 490 or 485 shipped) at pre-order fulfillment. I later sold it to a friend for $500.
 
The 0777 Damascus was $480 from ZT!? Wow, I saw one up for sale recently and it sold for $2250

Sorry, wasn't in a position then to research prices. BladeHQ and some other stores keep the product pages up with the prices for research and historical purposes.
 
I think that the 0600 and 0600BLK were $400 MSRP. I was so (pleasantly) surprised to see that the prices didn't go crazy on those, and managed to get one of each.

The 20% off MAP is where the $480 street price came from...
 
What about the 888M390? The same as the other wo, $499? These seem the cheapest nowadays 9 the secondary, I've seen them as low as $750
